    GOAL: Oxford 1-0 Sheffield Wedpublished at 15:20 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    (Greg Leigh 17 mins)

    Oxford's home record is standing them in good stead for now - they lead through a close-range finish by Greg Leigh!

    It's a third of the season for the left-back - all at the Kassam Stadium.

    Cameron Brannagan's cross was flicked on into the path of Leigh, who finishes coolly to give the U's the advantage.

    Leading up to it, we've given the ball away and then given the foul away.

    We've not got going, this is a test of character now.

    Blackburn 0-0 Luton

    Poor Jacob Brown's certainly been in the wars this afternoon.

    Having been fouled in the opening minute by Harry Pickering, he then takes a full-blooded drive from Sondre Tronstad full in the face and is swept off his feet.

    Fortunately Brown is fine to continue as Luton work hard to keep Rovers at bay.

    Liam Cullen (17 mins)

    What a start this is for the home side!

    Sunderland have won just one of their past eight and you'd be hard pressed to say that wont be nine after today now.

    Liam Cullen curls home a beauty of a free-kick for the home side.

  5. goal

    GOAL: Stoke 1-0 Cardiffpublished at 15:17 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    Andrew Moran (17 mins)

    Breakthrough for Stoke!

    Million Manhoef hits a bobbling shot towards goal and Cardiff keeper Jak Alnwick can only fumble it straight back into the path of Andrew Moran who makes no mistake and fires home into the roof of the net.

    A third goal of the season for Moran and the Bluebirds are behind again.

    Middlesbrough 1-0 Millwall

    Boro are threatening a second... Luke Ayling starts the move with a great tackle. The hosts eventually work it to Hayden Hackney but his shot is blocked.

  7. GREAT SAVE!published at 15:16 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff

    So close to an opener again for Cardiff but this time they are denied by Stoke keeper Viktor Johansson!

    Callum O'Dowda crosses for Andy Rinomhota but he's denied by a great save at the near post by Johansson.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Plymouth

    The away side fashion their first chance of the game but Michael Obafemi can only crash over from a tight angle.

    Sheffield United have not conceded a goal in front of their own fans since 17 August.

    Plymouth just look like they lack a little bit of confidence in the box, but it's been an encouraging start so far.

  10. CLOSE!published at 15:14 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff

    Cardiff almost take the lead... Calum Chambers is unable to divert his effort on target after Dimitrios Goutas headed towards goal and it lands on the roof of the net.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Plymouth

    Plymouth have safely navigated the first 10 minutes at Bramall Lane.

    The Pilgrims are without an away win this season and conceded 10 goals in losing their past two on the road.

  12. Postpublished at 15:13 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    Oxford 0-0 Sheffield Wed

    Chances for both sides in the early stages, with Oxford's Dane Scarlett - handed a start after coming off the bench in midweek - testing Wednesday goalkeeper James Beadle.

    The Owls also made a change to their forward line, with Michael Smith starting today and his effort at the other end has been ruled out for offside.

    Middlesbrough take the lead!

    Emmanuel Latte Lath bags his eighth goal of the season and it's the worst possible start for Millwall in Neil Harris' farewell game.

    The striker plays a one-two with Finn Azaz before slotting through Lukas Jensen's legs in the Millwall goal.

    Advantage Boro.

    Swansea 1-0 Sunderland

    The home side look to get a quick second and Anthony Patterson has to be on his mettle to push away Liam Cullen's low shot.

  15. Postpublished at 15:10 Greenwich Mean Time 14 December 2024

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff

    Plenty of action right from the off and a high tempo from both Stoke and Cardiff.

    Yakou Meite fizzes in a low cross for the Bluebirds but Anwar El Ghazi is just unable to connect.

    Middlesbrough 0-0 Millwall

    Macaulay Langstaff races through on goal for Millwall but Middlesbrough keeper Sol Brynn is out well to deal with it.

    Questions are going to be asked there. We just stood there looking at each other.

    Stoke 0-0 Cardiff

    A couple of early openings for Stoke at the bet365 Stadium.

    Tom Cannon hits a shot from a tight angle but it goes just wide before Andrew Moran fires over from the edge of the area after he was teed up by Million Manhoef.

    The Swans have a great recent record against Sunderland and they've made a super start today!

    Zan Vipotnik gives the home side an early advantage with a smart close range finish.

    The Welsh side have lost just two of their past 22 matches against the Wearsiders.

    Sheff Utd 0-0 Plymouth

    Leeds' draw at Preston in one of the early games means that the Blades have dropped back down to second in the Championship.

    However, a victory over the lowly Pilgrims would send Chris Wilder's men three points clear at the top of the league.
